note 129696 added to function.class-exists

Example #2 is just silly! Ignore it at all costs! In example #2 a file is included from a string, passed into the function. Yet the class_exists check is made on an object, making the entire function worthless. Also, you cannot do this: class_exists($some_string::class); So, don't use example #2, modified. Check if the file exists. If it does, require it. Then check for the class! ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.137 (proxied: 2600:8800:881f:f300:9865:b904:49f7:6a4) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.class-exists.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129696 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129696 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129696 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
